4 New Cuffs/Earrings, Amazing Beads from India, Update on my Portrait and Last Day for #GiveAWay!

I am BACK!!  Everything is up, working and the way I want it!!  So what did I do over the weekend?  I beaded, planned to do another BeadALong and went to a bead show and picked up MORE to bead!!  Oh ya, there was some family time in there too!! 🙂  But for me, it was a WONDERFUL, HEALING weekend!!  Let’s see, what should I start with?  How about the FOUR new listings for this morning?  YEP, great place to start!

But, here is something I MUST show you next!!  Remember a little bit ago I told you about the Bead Peeps Swap ‘n’ Hop….well, I have been paired up with this wonderful lady in India!  We have exchanged our bead stashes and I want to show off what she sent me!  I am so thrilled!!  We have chatted a bit and we have found out so much great things about each other!!  I have found her country, beliefs and customs interesting!!  I wont go into detail, but let me just say that her just ‘being’ a beadweaver is amazing!!  Here is what she sent me…I love every single bead!!

And here is what I sent her!!  She has posted about what I sent here, you can visit her blog – Art in Beads and Threads and more…………. and see her amazing beadweaving!!

I was busy working on my new BeadALong (set to be ‘released with dates and kits on 3/23/16) so I didn’t get much time to bead on my BIG project, but there were a FEW rows done…here is where I start today off! Remember, you can come over to my Facebook Fan Page, Google+ Page, or my Instagram Page throughout the day to watch updates and working photos.

If you haven’t entered yet, today is the last day!!
